We\u2019ve adopted the philosophy of a petulant grade school bully. This is an unfortunate trend across the country, but it really feels like California and the Bay Area specifically are at the bleeding edge of this philosophy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite understanding that progressivism has failed in San Francisco and other blue states, Raghavan lamented on Twitter that his new home of Miami has \u201cWorse politics (from our perspective), its own superficiality, weather issues, critters, guns\u2026 but lots to love about food, warmth, service industry, vibrancy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To that extent \u2014 via her personal Twitter \u2014 Pushaw slammed Raghavan for his \u201cincredible virtue signaling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re fleeing California to live in a conservative state because the policies here are better,\u201d she added. \u201cIf you truly thought Florida\u2019s politics are bad for you and your family, you could move to Denver, Seattle, Portland, or any other Democrat-run area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try to be welcoming to everyone who moves to Florida legally, I am from California myself,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut it really is frustrating to see Democrats destroy California and move on to Florida, where they vote for the same idiotic &amp; evil policies they fled in horror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pushaw\u2019s comments echo Florida\u2019s Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who warned new residents that if they voted as they did \u201cup north,\u201d then Florida would lose what makes it such a great state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we only want to share one thing as you move in hundreds a day,\u201d Judd said at a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/florida-sheriff-dont-register-to-vote-ron-desantis-video-2021-4\"> news conference<\/a> celebrating DeSantis\u2019 newly signed anti-rioting law. \u201cWelcome to Florida.
